Hey everyone. Welcome to the What is Money Show. I am sitting down today for a unique style of show with

Linda and Josh Hill, mother and son duo.

And the backstory here is that Josh DM'd me and recommended actually that we did kind of a

beginner's question intro to Bitcoin.

And so his thought in general was that if we could answer questions in a way

that his mom found digestible, that he thought that would be very valuable for a wide-ranging,

let's say, baby boomer demographic. And so I thought that was a good idea. And we exchanged the messages. And here we are today. So

Josh is just in standby mode for now. He might tune in later. Linda, welcome to the show.

Thank you. So I really appreciate you doing this. And I think we should just jump in.

I think you've got some questions for me.

We're going to work our way through that structure.

And then if other questions come up, we'll go that direction as well.

I'm going to do my best to keep it simple, straightforward, and slow.

So if I at any point deviate from those aims, please let me know.

Okay.

It was the first of its kind. There had never been anything like it before Bitcoin.

What has happened since Bitcoin emerged, because Bitcoin is just open source software.
